Cucuteni–Trypillia culture
The Cucuteni-Trypillia culture was an ancient society that existed in Eastern Europe between 5500 to 2750 BCE. It covered a large area from modern-day Moldova to western Ukraine and northeastern Romania. The culture is known for building large settlements with up to 3,000 structures,[1][2] and potentially being inhabited by up to 46,000 people.[3] They had a unique tradition of periodically burning their settlements, and then rebuilding them on top of the old ones. Some settlements had up to 13 levels of habitation.
